Hi everyone....Thank you for all the well wishes. :)

The surgery went fine, I am really sore but so glad that I won't have to deal with that pain again. He also went ahead and took out my appendix at the same time, so very thankful for that too!

I have not been able to figure out what triggered it because it would hit out of nowhere and sometimes I had just eaten and other times I haven't eaten at all, so no rhyme or reason to any of it. I still find it crazy that I can go from a beautiful empty gallbladder to one filled with stones in just a short time.

How wonderful that everything went well and that you don't have to fear the pain anymore. How long do you expect the soreness to last? What kind of restrictions do you have?

Glad everything went well naomi! Hope you have a speedy recovery!

I talked to surgeon yesterday. He wants me to still have the egd on mon aug 6 to make sure there is nothing other than my gallblader that needs to be fixed or removed. I go back to his office the next monday aug 13 and we will schedule surgery then.to have the gallbladder removed. So it looks like Im going to get to wait until a little later after all! Although yesterday and last ***ht I was having those spells and wanted it taken out right then! lol Hoping for a better day today!

Congrats on the stairs! Im so clumsy I have to hold on or risk a tumble!

Sorry everyone....yes, I am doing great. The soreness is almost gone and I go back to work tomorrow. My only restrictions are to limit what I lift for the next 2 weeks. It was a nice simple recovery and I am so thankful again that I won't have to deal with that pain, it makes me more sensitive to the patients that come into the ER with gallbladder pains.

Hello everyone, sorry I have not been on here as much as I should. I have been extremely busy with my boys and work. Alex just finished a baseball season with all stars and Travel baseball. I also had some visitors come and go a few times in the last month. I have lost 70 pounds so far and have only 35 more to go. Weight loss is starting to slow down a bit but I'm ok with that because I have been eating a little bit more. I'm so sorry to here about my co-sleevers having problems with their GB. Like Joni, my doctor also put me on actigall twice a day thank goodness! I wish you guys well and a speedy recovery. Mean while I will try to be more consistent with my updates.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
